Which Top Gear moment caused YOUR worst trouser accident?

[Mineworksfine]

In Jeremy's recent Times column http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol...cle4030333.ece he says that

James May and I laughed that dangerous life-threatening laughter; the sort where your brain starts to run out of oxygen.

This got me thinking - with a new season imminent, and nostalgia not being what it used to be, I thought it would be cool to start a list of the Top Gear moments that we have each found pant-wettingly, eye-wateringly funny. With getting on for 100 hours of Top Gear having been shown, we are all bound to have forgotten a few classic moments, so a few reminders will help us all reminisce and while away those long hours until the start of series 11.

My two would have to be:

Jeremy rocking up at the campsite during their Fly Drive holiday with the cow on the roof, asking what they should do next, to be told by Hammond "Well, you've got to peel it" (Thank God for Sky+ or I'd have missed the next 10 minutes of that show!)

James trying to spray a target line on the ski slope in the Winter Olympics special (which narrowly pips Hammond trying to dig on a slope and having his feet go from under him.)

Well not a lol-moment, but I always wanted to say that:

The BMW M5 review gives me shivers everytime I see it. The moment where Clarkson completely turns his point of view.

+ YouTube Video

I've got no clue why, it just gets me every time.

[IceBone]

Craig Armstong - Escape + that engine sound. Gotta be.

[Final Daihatsu]

I can't remember much of the very funny moments, but some are the 9x02 amphicars challenge when Richard is getting high from the smoke inside his van, and most of the Ground Force special.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Second funniest was Jeremy pulling up with the cow on the Camaro, and then when they got it off by reversing and turning hard.

For me, the single funniest moment was the end of the first amphibious race, where after kicking ass all day long, Jeremy overturned the Toybota. I was rolling on the ground in tears as it slowly capsized.

[Jocó]

The cow incident in 09x03.
And every time James laughs hard about something. His laugh is really infectious.

God, there's been so many times I've been squealing in laughter on the couch. I've loved everything so much, that I'm afraid I can't narrow it down. But, I loved the Africa special (James' cow bell), Jeremy's gull wing door...And the American special. Hammond walking down the street in cowboy boots LOL

And my long-suffering partner particularly liked the Polar special where James points the gun to his face. He actually asked me to rewind that bit so he can watch again! Which is amazing in itself.

Sorry I'm a bit crap at naming funniest moments. It's like a mother picking her favourite child.

And every time James laughs hard about something. His laugh is really infectious.

Yes! He doesn't laugh really hard all that much on TG, but when he does....I love it have you watched Wine Adventure? He laughs a lot in that. Actually, I found WA to be very, very funny. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Just remembered another classic.

James using the "Bumper Dumper" in the Polar Special as Jezza drives off.

"Clarkson, you insufferable oaf!"

Once this list is complete it would be really cool if someone who has the skills could compile them all in a single download, although when it comes to bit torrents I am totally clueless!!!

For me it has to be the end of the caravaning holiday, where Jeremy asks "So all things considered, how do you think it went..." then the burnt out caravan is seen being towed. Had me in stitches!

[matt2000]

I think various news sections have had me in stitches, like the converstion about cows or cars, and the uncut sections.

[LurkerPatrol]

THE LIMOS!!!!!!

I couldn't stop laughing at Jeremy's giant panda.

And also from the same segment:

James - "Can I just ask... why you shot me in the penis". That had me in stitches

[Mineworksfine]

I think various news sections have had me in stitches.

You've just reminded me - the Porsche pipe bit in the news when Jeremy puts the "911 Porsche, hot bit goes at the back" pipe in his mouth the wrong way round. And James pointing with his pipe stem....

That was a shag-pile flattener (that is when one falls off the couch onto the carpet with laughing.)

[Wannabe_Bond_Gal]

The ENTIRE Caravan episode, but particularly when Hammond gets accosted by the granny, when they jump into the bushes when a police car approaches and ruining a tent, which I still think was a set up but hey it was bloody funny.

Jeremy putting the pipe in his mouth, Hammond being hypnotised, so many.

[Cobol74]

Black Stig walking off refusing to drive Jeremy's Lancia because it would not start. Black Stig 1 Jeremy 0! Did you see the nonchalance?

[aaurora]

I think various news sections have had me in stitches, like the converstion about cows or cars, and the uncut sections.

Yes!! The news really does it for me

James' tampon anecdotes - in fact, I loved all the news of Season 10, Ep 3

[IceBone]

Black Stig walking off refusing to drive Jeremy's Lancia because it would not start. Black Stig 1 Jeremy 0! Did you see the nonchalance?

Stig's african cousin, you mean, not Black Stig. He "died" a long long time ago.

[Labcoatguy]

Stig's african cousin, you mean, not Black Stig. He "died" a long long time ago.

Well, that does make him a "black Stig", just not Black Stig. And since he put "black" at the beginning of each sentence, forcing him to capitalize....well, who is to say?

[matt2000]

Yes!! The news really does it for me

James' tampon anecdotes - in fact, I loved all the news of Season 10, Ep 3

And 10x10 after James and Richard smashed the Lambo baubles.

[Richmondgal]

I nearly died from laughing when I first saw the Amphibious Cars special and the part where Jezza's Toybota capsized and I was on the floor dying in laughter.
I also laughed hard when I saw the Ground Force Special.

[der_jackal]

No particular order;

The fire that would not die on the Toyboata.
the 911 pipe, "the hot bit goes in the back".


There are a lot more...but my mind is a blank right now thanks to the beer.
